A few years ago, Jersey Shore native Laura Crisci, made her return from Nashville back to her home town of Asbury Park, NJ. Upon returning, her long time friends and fans convinced her it was time to dust off her guitar so she gathered up the “Laura Crisci and Whoever Shows Up” Band and recorded her debut album “All Is Well” which continues to receive rave reviews. On July 1, 2010 she began her “All Is Well …In The World” Tour playing world renowned festivals and venues in Amsterdam, France and Italy. In July of 2011, she continued her tour for six weeks in England, Scotland and back to Amsterdam. And most recently, on August 5, 2014, Laura returned from a very successful and heartwarming 5 week tour of Italy.

Laura has an extensive history of playing with the best of the best from the Jersey Shore. Crisci’s original performances have been backed by many veteran players from the shore including former Springsteen members Danny Federici, Vini “Mad Dog” Lopez, Bob Alfano, and Gary Talent, as well as Bob Burger, Bobby Bandiera and Tico Torres from BonJovi. Always fun, intelligent and thought provoking, Crisci’s unique style and sound are a breath of fresh ocean air!

“It’s been pointed out to me recently that I tell the story of the girl riding in the car that the Jersey boy was singing about. Until now, it’s always been told from the boys perspective and no one ever knew what she was thinking. It was then I realized that my songs have always told that story, but this time around, I’m driving the car and it appears that the time has finally come for that side of the story to be heard.”

"Her tunes are a delicate narrative weave of life’s ups and downs fortified by a ringing acoustic guitar and a thumping back beat." Robert Santelli (Curator, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame)
